The Battle For The Iraqi City Of Mosul -- News Updates November 3, 2016

GOGJALI, IRAQ — Iraqi troops were moving cautiously Thursday in a neighborhood just inside the city limits of Mosul, going from house-to-house to ensure the safety of civilians. The soldiers had to be wary of booby-trap bombs as well as ambushes and sniper fire from Islamic State militants, who are being urged by their leader to remain and resist losing the last major city they hold in Iraq.

The breach into the city of Mosul, which IS seized more than two years ago, triggered the exodus of hundreds of families. They started to stream out of Mosul, some carrying white flags, others flashing victory signs at elite government troops with Iraq’s U.S.-trained Golden Division, who spearheaded victories this year elsewhere in Iraq against the jihadists, including at Fallujah.
